National Priority Scholarships Australia
As part of the Australian Government’s Education Revolution, the Scholarships for a Competitive Future initiative aims to double the number of Commonwealth Scholarships from 44,000 to 88,000 by 2012. As part of this expansion, two new scholarship categories will be introduced in 2009:
National Priority Scholarships for students enrolling in priority areas; and
National Accommodation Scholarships for students relocating interstate to study specialist courses not available near their home.
The Government proposes that the new National Priority Scholarships be offered to students undertaking undergraduate studies in nursing, teaching, medicine, dentistry, allied health, science, engineering and mathematics.
Submissions should be provided in writing by close of business on 1 May 2008

Australian National University Postdoctoral Fellowship
Postdoctoral Fellow
Fixed Term - 2 years
Academic Level A
Salary Package: $54,252 - $65,467 pa plus 17% super
Reference No.: RSBS4809
Applications are invited for the position of Postdoctoral Fellow in the
Visual Sciences Group, Research School of Biological Sciences, Australian
National University.
This position is funded by the ARC Centre for Excellence in Vision Science
and the successful applicant will work on a project using recent advances in
multifocal methods to assess the visual processing in multiple parts of the
visual field of normal persons and with retinal diseases such as Glaucoma
and neurodegenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson’s
Disease (PD) [e.g. Ann Neurology 57, 904-913 (2005)]. Our new multifocal
methods assess visual function from records of electrophysiological activity
or pupil contractions using infrared video cameras, both eyes being
stimulated concurrently with up to 88 stimulus regions per eye. When coupled
with 64 channel EEG recording this produces over 10,000 responses in 4
minutes recording time.
The position offers the ability to work with persons with diverse
backgrounds to help develop new diagnostic methods. The team has a track
record of bringing new methods, such as the FDT perimeter, into clinical
practice. Depending on the candidate and the development of the project the
research may also include studies using novel texture stimuli and
investigations into pupil function. The position is available for 2 years
initially.
Further particulars, including selection criteria, are available from:

reward courage and excellence in performance writing and allows a writer to develop a project to be ready
to present to market.
Kit Denton, a life time member of the Australian Writers’ Guild, was a scriptwriter, author, poet and lyricist.
He is best known for The Breaker, his international best selling novel about the trial and execution of
Breaker Morant. The criterion of the Fellowship was suggested by Andrew to reflect the courage and
creativity of Kit’s own work.
